How'm I Gonna Find You Now Lyrics - Complicated Game - James Mcmurtry

I've got a cup of black coffee so I don't get lazy 

I've got a rattle in the dashboard driving me crazy 

And if I hit it with my fist it'll quit for a little while 

Gonna have to stop and take a piss in another mile 

Headed into town gonna meet you at the mercantile 

Take it to the Sonic get you grinning like a crocodile 

I got a hole in the floorboard sucking in fumes 

I'll leave the hitchhiker standing 'cause I haven't got room 

Well he looked kinda scary so I didn't like him anyway 

Could've been a con from the state prison runaway 

Anyway he probably hadn't showered in a couple days 

No one but a fool would've given him the time of day, yeah 

Just listen close I'll tell you how I feel 

You need to know so I'll talk slow 

I always keep it real 

I see the red light blinking in the middle of town 

But I don't see your car parked anywhere around 

And I'm smoking into town like a molotov cocktail 

Rag in the gas cap flapping loose never fails 

Cell phone's down 'cause they didn't get the check I mailed 

How'm I gonna find you now 

How'm I gonna find you now 

I remember when I met you I's in love in one fell swoop 

You had a blade in your pocket and a rag in your belt loop 

Guys hovering 'round the bar like gulls on the ocean 

At the end of your shift just in case you got the notion 

Watch you washin' all the glassware, poetry in motion 

I'd a'roped the moon for you 

How'm I gonna find you now 

How'm I gonna find you now 

Just listen close I'll tell you how I feel 

You need to know so I'll talk slow 

I won't let go of this obsessive zeal 

I've got a mad coming on and it's gonna be dreadful 

Now I'm washing down my blood pressure pill with a Red Bull 

I hit the city limit sign and I'm blind and I'm seeing red 

Uniroyal tire on the right rear throwing tread 

You oughta see the x-rated scene running in my head 

Big as a baby's arm 

How'm I gonna find you now 

How'm I gonna find you now
